What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example:
Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on March 27, 2026. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded once on March 27, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?

- 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
- Chlorine sanitizer solution registered above 200 ppm. Sanitizers that are too concentrated may leave residues on surfaces and equipment, which could lead to cross-contamination of food items. Corrective actions: The concentration of chlorine sanitizer solutions for the kitchen must be reduced to 100 ppm. In order to achieve this, a 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of unscented household bleach (2 to 5 mL) is required per 1L of water.
- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- Apples were observed to be stored in crates lined with paper towels, which were damp and soiled. The staff member in the kitchen indicated that the paper towels are changed on a weekly basis. This practice can lead to the contamination of ready-to-eat foods with fungi and bacteria.Corrective action: Foods must be stored in food-grade containers and protected from contamination during storage.
